  • the AP reduces the number of the simultaneous transmission users and applies the mode b-3 to obtain a gain by a dispreading.
  • the AP proceeds to step 910 to determine whether or not the VHT-LTF/VHT-SIG is repeated, and determine the number of repetition of the VHT-LTF/VHT-SIG. That is, when the AP coordinates the LTF, it can repeat the LTF in order to further improve the channel estimation performance. Thus, the number of repetition of the VHT-LTF/VHT-SIG is determined. In addition, the AP can increase the detection probability of the dedicated control signal by repeating the VHT-SIG-D.
  • the AP proceeds to step 912 to determine a PPDU format, and configures the PPDU and transmits the configured PPDU.
  • the receiving end operates as follows in the 11a/g/n/VHT mixed mode.
  • the receiving method in 11 n/VHT mixed mode/VHT green-field mode in the mode a and the mixed mode and the green-field mode in the mode b can be easily configured from the above operation structures.
  • the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to the cases of transmitting a training symbol in a high-rate wireless communication system.
